Overcast sky....

12th February 2023 (Sunday)  08.45.... It’s a grey, lacklustre looking


morning... but hey ho;   sunny intervals are mentioned in our weather forecast so it should brighten up.  

I’m vertical... but choked up with a cold!  It wouldn’t be the eye rest that upset my eyeballs;  I was coming down with this cold.   Oh well.... it’s a stay in and stay warm day. I have loads o’ projects to play about with... and loads o’ food, milk etc. so I’m happy.  Funnily enough I feel better now that this cold has broken....not as headachy and my eyes are normal.    It’s breakfast time.

11.30    So far this day has been another ‘rest day’.   Oh.... I did a COVID test and it came up ‘clear’ so it is a cold that I have:  it’s not the ‘flu  because I don’t have any sore muscles.   When I think about that I don’t think I have much in the way of muscles that could be sair.   It’s a nice enough day now;  if the sun breaks through I might take a walk to the beach.... after lunch; I haven't lost my appetite.


19.00   I eventually went to the beach at gloamin’ time;  it was braw... and the beach was busier than I expected.   The sky was interesting so that was well photographed.   I’d been watching England v Italy at Twickenham.....it wisnae the best o’ games so I gave up on that.








21.30   I fell asleep watching ‘Digging for Britain’ (Prof Alice Roberts) one of my favourite watches on the tele .... so I am now sipping the bedtime chocolate before having an early night.   I’ll have to miss Jean’s (Forgan) funeral tomorrow but I’ll pay


my respects at the graveside later in the week.  Another ‘rest day’ and the worst of the old will be past.   The weather forecast is good for tomorrow;  in fact if I feel really good and it’s warm enough I might go round the villages on the bike.







Finally I want bring to your attention something we could do for a local autistic boy.... here are the details as posted on Facebook by his mother:

I have a call out. Most of you know Harris is Autistic. He loves Geography, maps, flags, Capitals of countries. (Canada & US capital of provinces & states) any information about countries & places. X

If any family & friends could send a post card to him from the place you visit. He would love it & I’ll post you a photo of his delighted face with your postcard.

6th October 2024 (Sunday)    "Happy Golden Wedding Anniversary"  to Brian and Moira". 09.00 .... All the Fife Weather cams are showing overcast skies.   The Anstruther cam looks the bleakest!..... the Lochgelly the least bleak.  The Easterly breeze has brought the weather in from the North Sea.... and  'sunny spells' are not mentioned in the weather forecast, but ... sometimes the sky looks promising!   It's a good day to be inside.  Luckily I, (and all the other guests), are celebrating Brian and Moira's Golden Wedding Anniversary in the Lindsay Room at Kinneuchar Castle. 10.30     It's still raining, but the sky looks promising now and again;  the sun might break though in the afternoon.  I had a walk round the patio in the light rain; very refreshing.    I'm having morrrrrrrrrrrning coffee before I start to get organised for Kinneuchar Castle. 20.30    We had a really pleasant family and f...

16th August 2024 (Friday)  08.30 ...It's a lovely morning but a layer of thin cloud is taking the Jackie. edge off the temperature so we have a chilly start to the day;  hopefully the sun will burn off the cloud to give us a sunny and warm(er) day soon.    The Auchnagatt 'troops' are expected to arrive about 10.30:  and I am organised .... and looking forward to seeing Jackie, Hazel, Catriona and Iain in one photograph.... a rare occurrence nowadays!  20.30 .... I got the photograph that I wanted... all four (soon to be five) of the Lawrie Family of 'Backhill of Inkhorn' (Auchnagatt) in one place!   It has been a most enjoyable day.  We had lunch at the very popular Cupar Garden Centre Restaurant (it was busy) followed by a browse round the garden centre:  the 'troops' did proper browsing:  I had quick browse followed by a catnap in the car.   The middle of the afternoon is my siesta time; and especially so after a good l...

6th August 2024 (Tuesday)    10.30 .... it's a beautiful morning, with a nice fresh breeze.... if only I Aldershot 1958. could go out on the bike!   Anyway... forget dreamin';  today is my appointment with the Consultant, at Queen Margaret Hospital (Dunfermline);.... and I'm hoping to find out what the 'plan' is.   Michael and Janice are out in the car.... shopping.   They should be back in about an hour or so.    I've tidied up the kitchen and will now have a cuppa while watching some of the action from Paris.  22.00    This is more like summer.... in fact I could get to like this weather.      Michael and Janice went up to Cupar in the morning, while I got myself organized  for the Queen Margaret appointment.   Michael and Janice arrived back with lunch, Fisher and Donaldson macaroni pies, with FD's for sweet.   We set off for Dunfermline in plenty of time and arrived with t...
